A
completely new design and typeset edition of the popular Ignatius Revised Standard
Version-Catholic Edition Bible, with minor revisions to some of the archaic
language used in the first edition. This revised version is a contemporary English
translation without dumbing-down the text. This second edition of the RSV doesn't
put the biblical text through a filter to make it acceptable to current tastes
and prejudices, and it retains the beauty of the RSV language that has made
it such a joy to read and reflect on the Word of God. Now the only Catholic
Bible in standard English is even more beautiful in word and design!
Features:
Completely re-designed and newly typeset: Wider margins and improved line-spacing
for comfortable reading.
The RSV, second Catholic edition is the only Bible translation that uses standard
(non-feminist) English and is in conformity with the Church's translation guidelines
